POCATELLO, Idaho – Northern Colorado closed out its conference road schedule with a 1-0 win at Idaho State on Sunday, moving into second place in the Big Sky with one match remaining.
The Bears are now 8-6-4 overall and 5-1-2 in conference play with 17 points, two behind Weber State's 19. Idaho State falls to 4-8-5 and 2-3-3.
Marshall Delivers
Ava Marshall scored the game-winner in the 55th minute, her fifth goal of the season, moving her back into the team lead. Maddie Mori and Lexi Tuite both assisted on the play.
Marshall had missed the previous match at Weber State, and her return gave the Bears the difference in a game where they controlled play from the start.
Northern Colorado outshot the Bengals 13-8 and put seven attempts on target to Idaho State's three.
Melsted's Seventh Shutout
Thordis Melsted made three saves for her seventh clean sheet of the season, which ties her for the fourth-most shutouts in a career in the program's Division I era.
The Bears have now held opponents to one goal or fewer in 12 of their 17 matches.
Mia Norman and Anneliese Wong each took three shots, and Nora Dougherty and Mori each put a shot on target. Idaho State's Aliya Garrett made six saves.
What's Left
Northern Colorado closes the regular season at home Thursday against Northern Arizona, and the Bears still have a chance to win the conference title.
Up Next
Northern Colorado hosts Northern Arizona on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. MT at Jackson Stadium.
